Julie Fujishima resigned on Thursday during a public apology to her uncle's victims.
Her departure comes a week after a major inquiry found Kitagawa had "extensively" abused young idols at his pop agency over a six-decade career.
He died in 2019, having always denied wrongdoing. He never faced charges.
